this comment would be funny if it wasnt scary. I'd love to hear what you think about this and why.

as much as you could push for democracy in saudi, even if it hit them in the head, i dont think they'd be able to see it.

FYI - last week kuwait offered all citizens a year of free food as well as all utility bills paid. At least they'll stave off a revolution for at least a year before it's people wake up again.

Oman - 2 people killed in the Sultanate today as part of protests against its rulers.. its coming closer to here....nothing to report here yet except for murmurs of a protest. here the population is quite happy, well off and paid enough to keep them from protesting. Although i could be wrong... i've been wrong in the past...
